I'd test separate tier for 32 first. People are crying about queue times and stuff but we won't know how bad (if at all) will it be if we won't test it.

test for t2 first they are the ones with the que problems

Ranged does fine with bolster entering a new tier. Melee does seem a bit too vulnerable but in my experience was far from unplayable. Keep your gear up to date and bolster should do the rest. If we stayed in lower tiers longer it would be easier to get good current level gear. With that in mind...

Great idea. Maybe even implement that on the lakes? While maintaining medal/emblem tier drops from kills in relation to character level?

not sure you possible it is, but you could add a check on the number of players and when it reached a certain point, activate the 32-only bracket.

this is probably a EU-bias idea though

Interesting idea. You're suggesting that the number and size of the brackets scale dynamically with online population to optimize queue times.

i know we arent there yet most likely, but id love a 1-15, 16-27, 28-35 with the lvl cap raised to 35, would be all kinds of awesome ;p

no need to raise lvl brackes just bring back the old brakes for scs it would do wonders for t2 sc pops
